Dear Albo & Wong - thinking of you… “The Narcissist’s (🇮🇱)Prayer” That didn't happen. And if it did, It wasn't that bad. And if it was, That's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. [Dayna Craig]

A society that depends on engineered poverty to keep its economy stable isn't ‘managing’ inflation— it's more accurate to say that it’s outsourcing the responsibility to some of our most vulnerable citizens.

Albo & his fake Labor grifters fed+state have played us from the outset stripping away our rights in order to ‘manufacture consent’ for war criminals & the crooked lunatic in the White House. He has dragged us down into the sewer with the very monsters we have come to despise & detest. Fuck the ALP

Only confirms what everyone outside the cult knows: Zionism is what Zionism does Gaza Genocide is mass murder Anti Zionism is not Anti semitism Appeasement is Acceptance Criminalising peaceful protest is Tyranny Rewarding moral cowards at the ballot box makes us accomplices to expedient cruelty

Sick & tired of seeing genocidal warmongers bankrolled by depraved Whitehouse swill using every media platform & propaganda trick available to minimise war crimes designed to deliver total territorial domination of Palestine? Well that’s just what they want. Hold fast & Maintain the Rage!

Yes, in these sad brutal & uncertain times when we desperately needed a true Labor leader to stand up & be counted we got another spineless, second rate politician almost as shifty & self interested as the prick he replaced.

At the ALP Conference Albanese said: “Govt’s determine what Govt’s do”. Ok, but Govt’s can also be defined by what they don’t do and notice he didn’t say which Govt’s are actively determining what Aust ‘does’ because it sure as hell isn’t him or his fake Labor Party of squibs & moral cowards.

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Albanese often cites Whitlam as a role model but Whitlam was a courageous visionary; a big-hearted foreign & domestic justice champion who never took a backward step. Albo on the other hand is a nowhere man. A heartless weak-kneed zio-cuck too busy simping for war crims to stand for anything at all

All these mega rich guys are as dull as dishwater. They rarely have any true friends - everyone’s a potential grifter. They fly guests in like pizza. Soon they’ll die like all of us but their kids will struggle all their days with the burdens, pitfalls, & utter futility of massive personal wealth.

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

A Govt that openly sides with a perpetrator of war crimes including genocide & criminalises protest while appearing indifferent to the suffering of innocent victims exposes a deep hypocrisy: it’s not the citizens driven by conscience who threaten justice, but the state that suppresses them.

Right. So Angus Taylor that bastion of integrity, honesty and transparency in public life will begin surveilling people to ensure they live up to his own lofty standards before they can enter the country. Fantastic. Great Move. Well done Angus.

Friends, express yourself as you see fit. Don’t be cowed by any of these piss weak bought and paid for politicians. Any authority they exercise comes from us not the other way round. Say what you want to say, be who you want to be & fuck the lot of them.

Oh FFS stop this goddamn madness. Surely police have something better to do than harass artists for expressing inconvenient truths about the warmongering genocidal apartheid state. How about fighting real crime & stop clogging up the courts with costly litigation which will only end up the shredder.

And so the vile bloated carcass of the Emperor doesn’t appear stark naked and thus offend our delicate Antipodean sensibilities, our leader’s drape the Aussie flag over all the repulsive bits and whisper their safe word in unison - “Realpolitik”.

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Agree from a realpolitik perspective now-but protracted appeasement by bystander nations inc our own was an utter failure as well and we need to own that. Sadly, sabre rattling cosplay with partner nations in the aftermath of an horrific genocide is far too little far too late’ for Palestinians.

Yes it’s a devastating coda and the fulfilment of O’Brien’s prophecy thus: “You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves”.

050

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

By making the reader carry the emotional truth his characters can no longer bear, Orwell puts it all on on us to see that totalitarian tyrants of any persuasion never get the chance to realise the author’s terrifying vision of a jackboot “stomping” on the best aspects of our humanity forever.

020

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

But Orwell is not finished with us yet. Julia & Winston’s individuality & feelings have been erased but WE remember exactly who they were and therefore We feel their grief, their shame, the devastating loss of their love on their behalf.

120

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

At the most primal level humans are hardwired to survive - everything else is subordinate to that fundamental priority when we are placed under unbearable stress.

120

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

I hasten to add that while the lovers still vaguely sense they have betrayed each other, it isn’t really a betrayal at all. Orwell knew from his experiences in wartime that courage can be exhausted & torture does not appeal to reason, loyalty or love.

120

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Furthermore human beings can indeed be annihilated & everything we hold sacred can be taken away from us. Under relentless torture humans will eventually do anything to end the suffering including giving up loved ones. Not a very ‘Hollywood’ ending is it?

130

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

The ending to 1984 is one of the most heartbreaking in all of literature and Orwell achieves this in two main ways. Firstly by reiterating an unnerving truth: Past a certain point & given the right circumstances love cannot save us.

271

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Syme doesn’t just “tolerate” the act of cutting — he revels in it. His enthusiasm shows how totalitarianism can seduce even the clever and cultured by appealing to intellectual vanity. His enjoyment is itself part of the evil Orwell wants us to see.

040

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

With respect, Syme loves language but only as an instrument of control. As he says: “The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought”. So while Syme enjoys the linguistic challenge, it’s a love of linguistic architecture in service of tyranny, not a scholar’s innocent delight.

“ADF personnel say they’d be very happy for Tony Abbott to lead the unexploded mines recovery team”.

011

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Their compelling struggles and experiences under the yoke of a brutal all pervasive surveillance state are nightmarishly real. Orwell hoped they’d be real enough to make readers question the stability and trajectory of their own nation states while there was still time to avoid political tyranny.

040

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

It’s not realistic or particularly plausible that the Party could restrain or completely control the human spirit. But put aside the outlandish setting and you’ll see 1984 is grounded by the very real drama of its characters.

151

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Julia: ingenuity/creative thinking in arranging secret rendezvous with Winston; smuggling real tea, coffee makeup; the reclamation of her body and sensual pleasure are all acts of subversive creativity - small human assertions of individuality over stifling state control.

040

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Examples: Winston’s diary, old poetry fragments (Oranges & Lemons) his dreams of Julia & the Golden Country, the coral paperweight, the unrestrained spontaneity of the washer woman’s voice - these are all small acts of rebellious creativity, doomed perhaps, but deeply human.

140

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Since creativity is a form of self-expression and as Syme explains, “Thoughtcrime is death” creativity cannot “flourish”. However a few notable traces of creative rebellion exist above and below the surface of 1984.

140

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

There are no explicitly hopeful messages in the novel - quite the opposite: “If you want a vision of the future imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.” That said, 1984 was written precisely in the hope that the totalitarian hell hole depicted in the work would never come to fruition.

040

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

As the personification of Arendt’s “banality of evil” in its most intellectual & self aware form he has no literary contemporaries that I’m aware of except maybe Cormac McCarthys extraordinary Judge Holden (Blood Meridian) a far more recent creation.

030

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

O’Brien is an original, frightening, extremely complex & compelling villain - a man of great intellect & charisma who also happens to be a vivisector of the human condition and an utterly amoral destroyer of minds.

131

MacGuffin @bobbinup.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

Taken out of context mass surveillance of dreams is a rather ludicrous concept but Orwell knew that the Party trick was making people believe you can do it. From here, fear, guilt & self loathing take over. The mind can never be allowed to wander! It must be self imprisoned and guarded 24/7.
